The ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4 modules will have up to 16 GB memory, plus frequency of DDR4-2133 MHz and operating voltage of 1.2 V. In addition to red, they'll ship on several other colors, to match whatever main-board you buy. http://news.softpedia.com/news/ADATA-Readies-Airplane-Shaped-XPG-Gaming-DDR4-Memory-444021.shtml

After several years of publicizing this, you would think someone would have to live in a remote cave to not know you can't point lasers at aircraft. I seems like this comes up every few days somewhere. http://baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/ap/2014/06/20/Pilot_reports_laser_strike_during_landing_at_LAX.html

Hi everyone, Has anyone got a clue on what's going on with British Airways Virtual? The website and the servers are offline for a while now which isn't normal I suppose. Cheers Bart

I was playing FSX for 1 one month with only mouse ,but then i decided i should get a joystick . But because i am still in school and don't have any source of money i couldn't afford any of the newer joysticks. So i built one by myself ! :D It's made out of building kit for small kids (I was playing with it when i was young) :D .Then i put my phone in it, installed Monect Portable (i really recommend this one ) and it was complete ! :D (actually took me like 3 days) Here are photos of it :D Tell me what you think :D

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/06/16/atlanta-airport-joke-diverts-landing/10571243/ One thing that's weird about this article is how they say that the airplane was a Boeing 777, their videos show MD-80s, but the real airplane used in this route is actually an A330.

If you can watch this without your jaw dropping..... hats off to ye'

With SimBrief and PFPX becoming quite popular as flight planning tools, I was wondering when the crews receive their dispatch releases. Is it when they start their day, or are they done within an hour before flight.

I haven't seen a word about Flight sim at all, and I just waded through the E3 website, not a peep about anyone picking up MS FS... has anyone heard anything or was it just another internet rumor?

Just been announced that Emirates have cancelled an order for 70 Airbus A350-900s and -1000s.

To anyone interested there is some interesting articles in USA TODAY about GA safety. It talks of helicopter fuel tanks exploding after hard landings, PA caberator defects and cessna 172 pilot seat racks failing causing accidents. Seems aircraft like car manufacters some times decide it's cheeper to pay for fatalities then recalls. Interesting read.

Sorry, but I have to post this just because of all the naysayers who claimed for the 787 should be grounded after the ET ELT incident. Now we can now step back, examine the facts, remove emotion and determine that it was never a 787 issue to begin with. http://seattletimes.com/html/busines...hnology/2023871038_787firexml.html In short, it was a Honeywell issue that could have happened to any airframe and happened to occur on the ET 787 (which has now been repaired and is flying again, another thing the naysayers said couldn't happen)

Interesting article from a Pilot's perspective. What blows me away is 13 minutes to 41,000 feet on a 14 hour 6,500 mile flight! Good article that really highlights the 787 as a game changer... http://www.thestreet.com/story/12745904/1/united-pilots-we-flew-to-chengdu-on-a-boeing-787-and-loved-it.html

I have just purchased Night Environment, (Aerosoft) from Just Flight. All I can say is wow! I purchased this beautiful night lighting scenery for just £6.99 with 400 rewards, usual price £10.99. This scenery is awesome, it looks real and lights extend right out to the horizon! The effect is amazing! Taking off from Stansted towards London is quite an experience, you can definately navigate by roads in the dark, I could not do that before. I am using ORBX sceneries for the UK, this add-on adds an incredible extra dimension to the ORBX scenery. The lights remain on during day time and are not visible. Ideally you turn the lights off by using a tool to…

Is anyone else experiencing "issues" with the Earth Simulations forum? I don't seem to be able to access any of the forum sections at the moment. If I left click on "Earth Simulations Discussion" (for example), I am just returned to the same page. In addition, when I left clicked on one of the PMs that I sent to Darren, I was taken to my purchase page! This is happening on my work PC and my home PC, so it is not a PC specific issue. These use Windows Vista 64bit and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit respectively.

It's good but I wouldn't go that far... http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-ideas/air-tahiti-nui-releases-what-could-be-the-best-airline-video-ever/story-fnjpj945-1226786328928

I own both of these aircraft and I'm amazed that they operate quite differently. My biggest bug bear is with the throttle controls. Power response in X-Plane although delayed, isn't anywhere near as bad as it is in P3D. In P3D it's almost like you're driving and old steam tanker. You ask for power. Then a chap in the engine room hears the tinkling of the power bell and gives the engine more coal and opens the taps. I know there's delay in turbo props, but it seems overly pronounced in the C90B - of course I have no experience of the real thing! Additionally, in P3D, the feather controls seem to do little to nothing until the power levers are adjusted. In X-Pla…

Yesterday was an uneventful Sunday evening for me. It was a picture perfect day with clear blue skies, and I was on my way to the local Kohls to pick up a Father's Day gift, on Rt3 in West Chester PA (my hometown airport is KPHL) Out of the corner of my eye I observe what looked like a KC-135 or a DC-8 in a tight bank, flying low and slow, with massive contrails forming. Very unusual for the altitude it was at, my first thought was that it was involved in an airshow performance. Then it occurred to me, I may be witnessing a fuel jettison operation! I missed the chance to snap a shot on my cellphone camera, but I suspected it would return, so I pulled into the…

BBC is reporting tonight, June 16, that Inmarsat is confident on the MH370 crash "hotspot", but that searchers have not yet examined that area. Read full report - http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27870467 january

I'm not trying to start another poop-fest, so please forgive me if this is inappropriate to ask. Was it ever revealed who had made the purchase? I haven't seen any news.

Hi! We have a few reports of a bug in which the diver controls (e.g. moving forward, moving backward, show camera) fail to function. We have verified the problem and are working on a fix. In the meantime, if you experience this problem, you can reset the game (and the controls) by following these steps: For Windows: Exit the game. Go to this folder, depending on your build: Windows Desktop: C:\Users\<YourLoginNameOnYourMachine>\AppData\LocalLow\Cascade Game Foundry\InfiniteScuba Windows Metro: C:\Users\<YourLoginNameOnYourMachine>\AppData\Local\Packages\CascadeGameFoundry.InfiniteScuba_fn7n90zx2bqzj\LocalState Delete the PlayerState.xml file. Resta…

Just forget all the carjacking, etc and fly!!

I'd just like to publicly thank Flight1 for continuing to run their no quibble full refund policy. Over the many years of my simming, I've made use of it a number of times. Its gotta be worth a plug... Great products - great service. Thanks guys!!!
